Mayoral candidates spar on city issues
Source: Dayton Daily News, OhioSept.self storage 20--Nan Whaley and A.J. Wagner sparred on budget issues, police hiring and their own experience Thursday night at the first major fall debate in the race for Dayton mayor.Wagner, a former county auditor and judge, continued to criticize city officials for their 2011 decision to end an annual $50 property tax credit for senior citizens and the disabled that had been tied to a previous income tax campaign. Wagner told the crowd of about 80 people the city broke a promise and suggested the decision will threaten Dayton's ability to pass a crucial renewal of the city income tax next year."They took away any incentive anyone would have to vote for that tax renewal," Wagner said. "We face a $20 million to $25 million deficit as a result (if the levy would fail). I'm not sure what we can cut by $20 to 25 million. ... That would be tragic, because I think we're going to look like Detroit if that happens."Whaley argued the only people to complain about the tax credit move were Wagner and his campaign, two years after the fact. She said City Commission made the decision to end the credit after the state government cut $9 million in annual aid to the city. It was one of nearly 40 budget-cutting or revenue-raising ideas considered, with close to a dozen implemented."We brought the tax credit out just like the other 39 issues, and this was the one that most people said, save our services, save our ambulances, save our police and fire, save our public works, and we'll do this," Whaley said. "We kept our promise to the citizens of Dayton by making sure their services remained strong."Asked about race relations, Wagner said Dayton should迷你倉do away with its civil service test for police and firefighters, arguing such a move would allow the city to more easily hire a staff that matched the racial mix of the city itself.Whaley disagreed, saying the city is finally out from under the Department of Justice's consent decree that stemmed from a racial discrimination case. She said the DOJ has approved the city's new civil service test, referring to the civil service board's report that the most recent group of test-takers was more racially diverse than in previous years.Whaley repeatedly referenced her "Roadmap for Growing the New Dayton," saying she would have a "singular focus" on creating jobs, because "when people have jobs, everything else takes care of itself."Asked her impressions of the debate seconds after it ended, Whaley said, "I really tried to make sure we were talking about the future of Dayton, because that's what this mayor's race is about to me."Wagner said the city needs to focus on education for very young children and job-growth efforts, saying 45 percent of Dayton children live in poverty. Wagner said the biggest difference between him and Whaley is his experience, ranging from teacher, to county auditor, businessman, lawyer and judge.Whaley won the May primary by a wide margin, receiving 50 percent of the vote to Wagner's 26 percent and current Mayor Gary Leitzell's 24 percent, although only 10,000 Daytonians voted. That vote eliminated Leitzell from the race, leaving Whaley and Wagner to battle on Nov. 5.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Dayton Daily News (Dayton, Ohio) Visit the Dayton Daily News (Dayton, Ohio) at .daytondailynews.com Distributed by MCT Information Services文件倉

Univision may go public (again
Source: The Miami HeraldSept.迷你倉 20--Univision may test the limits of Wall Street's love affair with the Hispanic market.The New York-based communications firm with a large Miami presence is reportedly mulling becoming a publicly traded company once again with an initial public offering of stock contemplated for the middle of next year, Reuters reported Friday.The move would give Univision an infusion of cash at a time when it is flexing its muscles as the dominant broadcaster for Spanish-speaking viewers and also pursuing the English-language audience with a new network based in Doral. It also would let Univision take advantage of a new appetite for IPOs on Wall Street as stock prices flirt with new records on a monthly basis.Reuters cited three unnamed sources in reporting the potential IPO plan, but said Univision's board has not made a final decision on whether to proceed. Buyout firms, including Madison Dearborn Partners, took Univision private in 2007 with a $12.3 billion stock purchase. Univision first went public in 1996.While headquartered in New York, Univision runs its national television operation out of Doral studios. It also is partnering with ABC to launch自存倉Fusion, an English-language network aimed at young viewers. It will operate out of a new building Univision built in Doral, that also will house the company's news division.Univision recently lost its top Miami executive, Cesar Conde, to NBC, which owns rival Telemundo.In its most recent earnings report (which the privately-held company still makes public), Univision reported $675 million in revenue for the second quarter and $40 million in profit. During the summer, Univision for the first time beat all English-language networks for the No. 1 spot among adult viewers under 50, the most prized demographic for advertisers.Univision's rise comes as more companies turn their marketing efforts toward the rapidly-growing Hispanic demographic.The Reuters report said Univision is "leaning toward an IPO" in the second half of 2014, "as the board continues to evaluate the company's strategic direction." Univision executives were not immediately available for comment, but Reuters reported the company has declined to talk about the IPO possibility.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Miami Herald Visit The Miami Herald at .miamiherald.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷你倉

帶薪休假難落實 上班族節假日回老家幾成奢望(圖
URL:.chinanews.com/sh/2013/09-21/5303179.shtml昨日,儲存倉北京市民和遊客在園博園觀賞音樂噴泉和大黃鴨。 新華社記者 李欣 攝 專家稱現行節假日調休制度違反生理節奏應調整 新京報訊 (記者饒沛 郭超)昨天是中秋小長假第二天,出游群體以家庭為主,大多選擇到市內、近郊的公園和開放式景區遊玩。 據北京市假日辦統計,昨天,全市重點監測的26個景區共計接待遊客56.7萬人次,比前天增長42.2%。豐台園博園單日接待量刷新紀錄,達7.5萬人。 截至20日15時,市屬11家公園游園人數達到49萬,比前天提高了近20萬,同比增長63%。動物園單日迎來7.5萬遊客量,位居第一。 各大公園未出現大範圍擁擠 中秋假期出游特點確實與五一、十一不同,出游群體大多選擇了市內和近郊的公園和開放式景區。從統計數據看,故宮全天客流沒有超過什剎海、圓明園等公園、景區。故宮在12點左右達到接待高峰,小時客流量超過4萬,而此時段什剎海迎來5.5萬遊客,圓明園遊客量則達到7萬多人。 據旅遊委相關部門負責人介紹,豐台園博園的開放為北京旅遊帶來新的增長點。截至昨日15點,豐台園博園接待7.5萬人,比前日增長66.67%,開創園博園開園以來單日最高接待量。 市屬11家公園游園人數實時播報則顯示,昨日上午10時,在園人數8.1萬;中午12時在園人數11.71萬;下午14時在園人數12.3萬;下午16時在園人數10.59萬,實時在園人數同比前天皆增長近4萬人,雖然最高峰出現在下午14時,但各大公園未現大範圍擁擠,游園舒適度仍較高。 動物園、頤和園、天壇成為初秋游園熱門,單日迎來7.5萬、7.1萬和7萬遊客量,位居市屬公園前三位。 預計今天商場周邊人多路堵 今天是中秋假期最後一天,預計市屬11家公園今天將持續迎來游園小高峰。市屬各公園將在高峰時段,開�33條園區內單行游園線路。 在原有120個售票窗口的基礎上,市屬11家公園增加了售票窗口、臨時售票車100處,高峰時段全部開�。 中山公園為中秋游園高峰作出預案,該公園內的唐花塢景點,在達到遊客最大接待量時,將會採取關閉中門,開�東、西側門的方式,引導遊客自東向西單向出入,並適當控制展室內的遊客量,超過核定量,暫停放行,為遊客提供舒適安全的遊覽氛圍。 除中山公園唐花塢以外,市屬公園各主要景區、高峰地段都將依據實時遊人量,增加出入口及疏導人員,對易出現擁堵狀況的路段、橋樑、涵洞等設立警示牌近1300處,確保遊客安全。 交管部門提示,根據往年情況分析,假期最後一天,市內商場、飯店周邊容易出現擁堵,請市民根據自身情況選擇公共交通工具。 ■ 交通 今天全國鐵路迎來返程高峰 新京報訊 (記者劉春瑞)今天,全國鐵路運輸迎來返程高峰。 鐵路部門表示,昨日進入假期第二天,全國鐵路客流整體趨於平穩,北京、上海、廣州地區去往全國大部分方向都有餘票。昨日,全國鐵路加開臨客187列。受列車運行圖調整影響的部分列車車票已恢複發售,具體情況可以查詢12306網站。 據氣象部門預報,今年第19號超迷你倉颱風“天兔”正逐漸向福建南部到廣東中東部一帶沿海靠近。受此影響,從昨夜起,福建部分地區有大到暴雨。前往該地區的旅客出行時,注意防風防雨。 ■ 相關新聞 多數打工者中秋不敢“回家看看” 工作忙、假期短、負擔重成不能回家主要原因;專家認為應將回家探親的權益落實 綜合新華社電 今年中秋節是《老年人權益保障法》新修訂實施後的第一個重要節日,記者調查發現,雖然“常回家看看”已入法,但許多在外打拼的人由於工作忙、假期短、負擔重,節假日“回家看看”幾乎成了奢望。 有專家認為,家人團聚並非法律強制所能做到,這需要社會各方的共同努力。 負擔重 不敢隨便回家 “過節了誰不想回家看看!但我從事的保健品行業每到年節正是熱賣的時候,回家路途又遠,再三掂量還是放棄了回家計劃。”因中秋節無法回山東老家與父母團聚,在哈爾濱工作的李玉龍心裡總有愧疚感。 李玉龍說,因工作忙他已經三年沒回家了。“我也想回家,但更想趁年輕多賺些錢,給父母創造更好的生活條件。” 記者採訪瞭解到,工作忙、負擔重是不少人不能回家過中秋節的主要原因。“有自己的家庭要照顧”也成為一些人不能回老家陪父母過節的原因。 在杭州一個外來人口聚集的小區,一位社區工作人員告訴記者,這個小區大概有一半以上的人都不回家過節。今年50歲的李克顧和妻子來自安徽的一個農村,來杭州這20年,他們一直在這個小區收廢品。他告訴記者:“這幾年中秋,整個家被分成了3瓣,我們在杭州,孩子在上大學、父母在老家,大家一年就見一次面。家里的開銷就靠我們夫妻來承擔,哪能隨便回家啊!” 假期短 回趟家太倉促 雖然《老年人權益保障法》規定:“與老年人分開居住的家庭成員,應當經常看望或者問候老年人。用人單位應當按照國家有關規定保障贍養人探親休假的權利。”但記者調查發現,由於“帶薪休假”難以落實,總共3天假期的中秋節,成為許多上班族“無法回家”的最重要原因。 今年36歲的哈爾濱市民杜偉軍,中秋節湊巧要加班,無法回吉林老家過節。 杜偉軍說:“其實,就算不加班,3天的假期對於在外地工作的人來說也太倉促了,基本有兩三天時間花在來回的路上。我們這些奔波他鄉的人特別期待能真正落實帶薪休假的法律法規,讓我們也能‘常回家看看’。” 【聲音】 “保障贍養人探親 休假的權利”是關鍵 浙江省金道律師事務所律師夏家品說,有調查顯示,我國空巢老人面臨不同程度的焦慮、孤獨、失落等情緒,但是大部分子女受時間和物質條件的制約無法經常看望父母。法律規定的“常回家看看”要真正落實,就必須先保證用人單位“保障贍養人探親休假的權利”這一條做到位。 浙江省社會科學院調研中心主任楊建華表示,由於生活的高成本,巨大的社會壓力讓很多人喘不過氣,對老人的精神贍養這一屬於道德上的義務,往往成為犧牲品,法律約束也很難奏效。 專家認為,保障老年人的幸福生活,除了個人的努力,也需要靠政府、社會的力量。比如加強保障老年人精神生活需求的配套設施建設;將“回家探親”的權益落到實處,通過工會監督、法律保障等方式,維護勞動者探親休假的權益。標簽:園博園 游園 景區 帶薪休假 遊客量迷你倉最平

媒體不應為“謠王”背書
在崔永元和方舟子有關轉基因食品的“口水戰”中,自存倉忽而爆出了一條頗有些轟動性的消息———某報記者從知情人處獲悉,崔永元的辭職信已經被領導批准,目前小崔正在辦理相關手續。言下之意是,崔永元即將離開央視,選擇全新的人生道路。“小崔離開央視”在網絡風傳已久,至少有過五六撥傳聞,而且每次都有鼻子有眼,也會引來很多網友的評論和轉發,但到後來卻不了了之,也沒人計較最先傳播消息的究竟是何方神聖。不只是崔永元,屢屢被傳要離開央視的還有白岩松、趙普、柴靜等一大批知名媒體人,網傳他們“辭職”的原因大多是諸如“為實現新聞理想”或是“對現實的困惑”等等,營造出時刻都想要離開央視的龐大群體,但反觀近些年離開央視的知名媒體人,無論是黃健翔、邱�明還是李詠、白燕升,離開的原因並不是像傳聞那樣充滿理想主義色彩,謀求更好的個人發展機會才是主因。說實話,小崔想離開央視這事已不能算是“新聞”,而讓筆者感到驚訝的是每次有類似傳聞出爐,都會有媒體主動跟進報道,而所迷你倉“可靠消息”的源頭都是不便透露姓名的內部人士,按照正常人的思維邏輯,既然連姓名都不便透露,又何來“可靠”一說———又不是什麼重大機密,一個待定消息的確認怎需如此大費周章。類似的還有網絡熱傳的“杜月笙語錄”、“馬雲語錄”以及貌似很有道理的“長江商學院的**道面試題”之類,也總會人奉為圭臬。當一條語焉不詳的網絡消息被搬到紙面或是屏幕上,經過公共媒體的背書,就成了能被廣泛認知的新聞,媒體人的責任之一是對消息源頭加以驗證,而不是不設防的拿來主義———用“據某媒體報道”只能說明有此一說,絕不能拿來為自己的觀點加以佐證。如今,頻繁出現的“知情人”、“磚家”、“業內人士”和“某媒體”組成了最不靠譜的“四大謠王”,由他們製造的新聞似乎兼具專業性和可信度,“謠王”之間還經常頻繁互動,結果往往是讓觀者信以為真,信者誤入歧途。無論崔永元最終是否會離開央視,媒體報道的態度都不能起于網絡而終於網絡,沒有可信的信息驗證,再轟動的傳聞都不該成為新聞。迷你倉

【本報訊】蘋果新iPhone5s/5c昨首日全球開售,文件倉熱炒神話不變,作為九個首批開售城市之一的香港,專門店出現搶購人潮及排隊黨,雖然內地買家漸少,但歐洲及東南亞的果迷卻取而代之成為生力軍,來港瘋狂掃貨,其中受內地「果迷」追捧的香檳金色成為搶手貨,貨源奇缺、一機難求下收購價屢次破頂,64GB版瘋狂叫價達1.5萬元。記者:馮詩媚 張珮琪 嚴敏慧 李家樑 雖然蘋果新手機被批評驚喜欠奉,但仍是全球蘋果迷引頸以待的產品。日前大批粉絲爭相在蘋果網站預訂iPhone5s/5c新機,一度引起網絡大擠塞。而成功訂購心頭好的果迷,昨晨8時起分別進入本港三間蘋果店,在員工拍掌高呼下領取新機,氣氛熱鬧。 買手持現金「人釘人」狂掃 被蘋果視為最大市場之一的內地,今次亦同步推售新iPhone,令過往內地客聯群結隊來港掃貨的情景已不復見,但取而代之的是歐洲及東南亞國家的果迷專程來港掃貨,當中有來自烏克蘭的商人,特意來港收購新機,回國後以翻倍價錢出售;亦有俄羅斯商人,撲往旺角先達回收店狂掃20部64GB的新iPhone5s手機。此外,亦有不少來自澳門和深圳等鄰近地區的市民,專程來港買機。 有生力軍加入,令原本被指「炒唔起」的新iPhone,繼續熱炒起來,貨源較充足的太空灰色16GB版5s,收購價一度較原價高1,400元至7,000元。當中金色版更成為內地客狂搶目標,由於已暫無供應無法網上預訂,炒價不斷飆高,64GB版存倉s一度叫價達1.5萬。 《蘋果》昨晨巡視港九三家蘋果店,發現炒家最集中的仍然是中環國金的蘋果旗艦店,在毗鄰的一間星巴克咖啡店「公共空間」,盤踞了兩幫內地莊家,商場成為他們的炒賣場,場面墟�,除了開�手提電腦不斷上網格價外,電話亦響個不停,叫價及問價此起彼落,當中20多名「買手」炒家手持大量現金,在蘋果店外「人釘人」掃貨,多多都要。 記者站在現場觀察,發現最普通的太空灰色16GB版5s價格由最初收購價6,000元升至7,000元一部,但至早上11時許,疑因貨源較足,已回落至6,600元。至昨日下午3時,有「大莊家」表示已收購了150部新機,但價錢越炒越高的金色版本只收得3部。 在銅鑼灣希慎廣場及九龍塘又一城蘋果店,雖然沒有大批炒家出現,但卻有不少外國商人在門外收購新機,而不少透過預訂買到新機的市民,直接往旺角先達放貨。 下批新機預計10月取貨 在先達廣場方面,不少店舖準備大量現金進行交易,成功購得金色及銀色各一部的Wilson,只肯放售銀色新機,認為金色較特別,即使收購價升至近萬元,仍決定留為己用。 G-WORLD MOBILE負責人劉志剛指,下一批官方新機預計下月1日才能取貨,相信金色及銀色的炒價能持續。 除了蘋果店外,多間蘋果授權經銷商門外亦吸引大批排隊黨通宵排隊守候,當中不少是南亞人士及外傭,每買一部手機,獲200元酬勞。雖然5s銷情理想,但平價的5c卻乏人問津,收購價更跌破底價。 迷你倉

Three candidates compete for Fayetteville's District 8 seat
Source: The Fayetteville Observer, N.迷你倉C.Sept. 20--Three candidates in west Fayetteville are competing for the City Council seat held by Wade Fowler, who isn't seeking re-election.One of them, Ted Mohn, held the seat for two terms before stepping down in 2011. Another candidate, Michael Pinkston, lost to Fowler in the 2011 election. The third candidate, Jimmy Holland Jr., is making his first run for office.The two top vote-getters in the Oct. 8 primary will advance to the general election in November. The winner will replace Fowler, who isn't seeking a second term because he said he wants to devote more time to business.Geographically, District 8 is the largest of the city's nine council districts and includes the westernmost neighborhoods of Fayetteville near Hoke County and Fort Bragg.Holland and Pinkston say dealing with crime would be their top priority if elected. Mohn says improving and supporting public safety is his top focus. Crime is a key part of that, Mohn said, but he also counts the Fire Department and sanitation services as public safety.All three candidates say they'd support hiring more police officers and promoting community watch programs. They also promise to focus on economic development and job creation.Jimmy HollandExcept for a 4 1/2-year stint in the Army, Holland doesn't remember a time when he hasn't lived in west Fayetteville.His parents moved to the city when he was 6 weeks old. He graduated from Seventy-First High School and took his only leave from the city then, joining the Army and serving in Operation Desert Storm. He now co-owns an 11-year-old civil engineering and land-surveying firm in Fayetteville called 4D Site Solutions."I plan to be here the rest of my life," Holland said.He serves on the planning board but is about to leave that post for a new one on the board of adjustment.Holland believes the city should find a way to give the Police Department the funding it needs for staff, equipment, programs and technology, even if the money has to be yanked from other areas."My belief is that local government's primary function is to provide security for its people, period," he said. "All other programs take a back seat."Holland said that before his neighborhood was annexed in 2005, a sheriff's deputy patrolled so regularly that Holland was on a first-name basis with him. Now, he said, "I rarely see a police officer in my neighborhood."Holland said he doesn't blame police, which he called understaffed."I blame the city," he said.He believes additional funding could be found by privatizing services such as landscaping and trash collection."It just burns me up when I see people on the side of the road doing landscaping when you could take that crew and hire a police officer for a whole year," he said.Holland said the city should also do whatever it can to promote economic growth. He said some portions of the city's Unified Development Ordinance, passed in 2011, are too constraining on developers and should be changed.Ted MohnThe Army brought Mohn and his two young children to Fayetteville for two years in 1997 and again in 2002. When the divorced single father retired from the Army in 2004 after a 21-year career, he decided to stay in Fayetteville. He now works on Fort Bragg as a civilian modeling and simulation specialist.Mohn got involved in local politics in 2004 when the city was preparing to annex 27 square miles and 42,000 people in the western part of the county, including Mohn's neighborhood. Through the group Cumberland County Citizens United, he fought the so-called Big Bang annexation. The annexation happened anyway, but Mohn decided "it was either sit back and complain ormini storagetry to get on City Council and make a positive impact." He was elected to two terms in District 8 but declined to run again in 2011 so he could fully enjoy his son's senior year in high school.Now with his children out of high school, he said he can devote his time to serving the city."I didn't want to get off," he said. "But family comes first. Now I have the time to dedicate to it."Mohn said he supports the hiring of more police officers. He said city leaders and police need to work with county, state and federal agencies and with citizens on strategies and solutions to get tougher on serious criminals, to protect people and to guide children away from lives of crime."I think it's a joint effort," he said. "You have to engage the judicial system and the magistrates."Other key issues for Mohn include smart growth and planning, encouraging economic development through local policies and safe routes for pedestrians.During his time on the council, he said, he attended community meetings to learn people's concerns. He said he enjoyed the interaction and was happy to try to help people, even if they lived outside his district. He said he still got calls from people seeking his help after leaving office."If you can help somebody, why not?" he said. "It's all fun."Michael PinkstonIn the late 1960s, Michael Pinkston said he was "the quintessential long-haired tree-hugging hippie."He opposed the Vietnam War and burned his draft card, though he still was drafted in 1970. Pinkston said he considered fleeing to Canada, but his girlfriend warned she'd never marry him if he did. So he joined the Army -- and liked it so much he stayed for 21 years. He also married his girlfriend; 41 years later, they're still together.When Pinkston retired in the early '90s, he and his family were living in Fayetteville, and they decided to stay. In 1994, Pinkston, who in the Army had taught mountain and rock climbing, opened an indoor rock-climbing gym downtown. He said The Climbing Place, now in its 19th year, is the largest such gym in the state.Pinkston has worked on local campaigns for Republicans and Democrats but says partisan politics have no place at the municipal level. In 2011, he ran for the District 8 seat but lost to Fowler, 409-221. He said then that he'd run again."I feel like the gift I have is for municipal politics," he said. "That's where I feel like I am called. I have no desire to be county commissioner or to run for a state office or to move to another level. I want to work at the municipal level, side-by-side on issues that we face every single day trying to make Fayetteville a safer place, a place without crime, a place with good jobs and a place where neighborhoods and streets are safe to walk."Pinkston said the City Council can and needs to focus on cutting crime in the city. The council could do that, he said, because "we set the police agenda. We say, 'It's time to take the gloves off. It's time to be tough on crime.' If the Police Department has the backing of council, they're going to be more determined to wipe out crime."Like the other candidates, he says the city should work with the county and other levels of government to address the issue. Citizens need to join the fight, too, by participating in community watch groups.Pinkston said the council should focus on ways to promote job creation because that would help cut into crime.Staff writer Catherine Pritchard can be reached at pritchardc@fayobserver.com or 486-3517.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Fayetteville Observer (Fayetteville, N.C.)

私宅建設為何安全事故頻發 記者調查發現,多數在建私宅都不採取防護措施
南國早報記者 謝奎 實習生 雷奧琳9月19日,迷你倉欽州籍農民工班先生仍躺在醫院重症監護室里治療。5天前,他和兩名工友在一家民房4樓施工時,不慎觸碰到樓頂上空的高壓電線,被電流擊傷。據瞭解,類似在建民房因施工安全措施不到位導致的事故,在南寧市時有發生。私宅建設為何安全事故頻發?記者調查發現,這與施工現場未採取必要的安全措施有關遭遇樓上掉下建築模板擦頭而過因為大意,班先生和兩名工友手中的木棒觸碰到樓頂上空的高壓電線,導致三人一同被電流擊傷。9月13日中午,這起發生在南寧市淡村路城中村李某家4樓樓頂上的事,導致班先生身受重傷,至今仍無法康複。醫生稱,還要10天左右才能轉到普通病房。南寧市的覃先生也有過一次驚魂經歷。9月10日上午10時左右,他行經南寧市江濱大道一路口時,忽然從新興村一座在建私宅上飛下一塊約1米長的建築模板,從離他頭部不到30厘米處擦過!類似的遭遇,市民葉女士也有過,她差點被一座在建私宅上掉下來的長凳砸中。而女農民工孫某則很不幸。8月26日上午10時左右,她在南寧市良慶區榮光南路光明街施工時,不慎從7樓墜落,當場死亡。調查在建民房多數沒有安全措施記者調查發現頻頻發生的安全事故,均與施工現場未採取必要的安全措施有關。9月17日上午,南國早報記者對南寧市多條路段進行走訪,發現在建民房中,未採取安全措施或毫無防護措施的十分普遍。在可利科園大道路口附近,3座在建的民房均有5層以上。其中一棟樓房的外牆上,3名農民工正站在腳手架上,一邊給外牆抹灰漿,一邊用工具剝離碎屑。他們未戴安全帽,腰間也未系安全繩。隨著他們手中的鐵錘不停敲擊,牆體的碎屑不斷撒落下來,令人不禁為他們捏一把汗。在中興大橋南端附近,多座在建民房也未見安裝防護網。許多農民工在這些樓房忙上忙下,但沒有人戴安全帽。從地上起吊沙漿、磚塊等重物,均通過安裝在樓上的簡易提升機完成。現場四周也未見安全監督員。至於安全與否,全看他們的“運氣”了。記者沿清川大橋往白沙大道轉了一圈,發現只有少數在建私宅搭有安全網,絕大部分未採取任何安全措施。在問及自存倉何未採取安全措施時,房東們要麼不置可否,要麼稱“已經提醒過農民工”。一名房東說,他們也想請正規的建築隊,可那樣會增加建設成本。而請馬路建築隊,可節省不少開支。他們的樓層又不高,應該不會出問題。說法每個社區5名安全員仍“不夠用”一邊是私宅“帶病”建設,一邊是官方疲于應對。青秀區中山街道辦事處副書記慕哲隆對此有深刻的體會。在新興村掉模板險砸中路人的事例中,該樓房東李某所請的農民工是沒有資質的野馬建築隊,不知道如何採取安全措施。事發後,經該街道辦督促,房東在安全通道上空安裝了安全防護網。但該街道辦認為仍不安全,建議用堅硬的竹排頂替,以確保過往行人安全。同時責令該樓暫停施工,補辦手續。慕哲隆說,安全事故頻出的建築大多為私人樓房。由於受利益驅動,一些人紛紛搶建或未批先建。為此,該辦在轄區14個社區中,每個社區設置5名安全技術巡視員,對本社區違建民房進行巡查,發現安全隱患及時報告。但巡查速度仍然比不上偷建搶建樓房的速度,往往巡視員前腳剛走,已“停工”的違章建築後腳就恢複施工。目前,僅中山社區就查出100多處違章建築(包括非法搭建的鐵棚),該街道辦已將情況向上級主管部門匯報。“對一些影響大的違章建築,政府部門將採取強制拆除處理。對其他建章建築,先做思想工作,動員他們自行拆除。”慕哲隆說。回應在建私宅安全監管確是難題 南寧市安全生產監督局相關人士說,對私宅建設的事前管理,辦理建設施工許可證、建設用地許可證等,由建設部門負責,用地規劃許可證則由規劃部門處理。安監部門只是事後對違章建築業主或施工方進行處罰。他表示,在建私宅的安全監管的確是個難題,因為這些房東聘請的工人多為野馬建築隊,有的也有村民之間的互助性質。這些工人多為未取得資質的農民工。一旦發生意外,工頭擔心挨賠償或被處罰,往往逃逸,導致處罰難以落實。該人士建議,農民工在施工時一定要採取相應的防護措施,如戴安全帽、腰系安全繩,建築物周圍應架設安全防護網。出事後,農民工千萬不要跟老闆私了,而應立即向安監部門報告,以便政府部門查處。(讀者陳先生 稿酬60元)迷你倉

卡梅倫酣睡姨仔大床
self storage 【本報訊】英國首相卡梅倫妻子的妹妹謝菲爾德於本月七日結婚,她行禮前穿上婚紗在房中拍照,照片被上載至相片分享網站Instagram後,隨即惹起熱話及揶揄,皆因照片拍到卡梅倫赤腳在雙人床上呼呼大睡,腳旁更擱有相信載�政府機密文件的紅色公事箱。白高敦前顧問常施毒招卡梅倫當日從俄羅斯聖彼得堡的二十國集團峰會歸來,顯然相當疲倦。該紅色箱子則相信為他於同日乘火車時,置於座位不顧的同一個官方文件箱。卡梅倫的前任、前首相白高敦則捲入政治醜聞,他的前高級顧問麥克布賴德將於下周推出回憶錄,大爆自己如何用政治陰招,包括定期向報章發放濫藥、酗酒、及婚外情等醜聞掀起工黨內鬥,為白高敦逼走內閣中的政敵。迷你倉
